Because I went to college

"I am going to be a teacher because I went to college."

The cause is "Going to college."

"I am going to be a police officer because I went to college."

What will be your effect?

"I am going to change my neighborhood because I went to college."

One by one the students stood up.

"I am going to help patients at St. Jude's hospital because I went to college."

And then the last. One of the struggling students in my class.

"I am going to make things that no one has heard of before because I went to college."

So simple, yet so powerful. The odds against him create a tough obstacle, but his determination and hope shined through as he stood up in confidence, sure of his future and the possibilities ahead.
